The latest edition of an annual “Islamophobia” report falsely claims that Muslim persecution in Europe is ubiquitous, and incorrectly portrays Europe as unsafe for Muslims to practice their faith. The report, which attempts to politicize “Islamophobia,” appears aimed at furthering longstanding efforts by Islamists to criminalize criticism of Islam in the West.
The continued publication of these reports, which have been published every year since 2015 by a consortium of civil society NGOs under the influence of Türkiye, indicates that the Islamist campaign to intimidate Western elites and incite Muslim immigrant populations continues unabated even as support for Islamism is declining in the Muslim Middle East.
